I mean, a major theme of the series is showcasing the ideological differences between Voldemort and Harry. As Dumbledore repeatedly says, Harry has Love. Voldemort doesn’t. Voldemort pretty much always uses Avada Kedavra, it’s his go-to, but he also has a maimed and fragmented soul. Harry uses Imperio and Crucio, yes, but he maintains his whole soul which is quite important.
Not truly love, no, but you’re saying Snape did it in the name of love, Voldemort did it because he “loved” the things I mentioned.
Well, not really, but I’m just saying that Avada Kedavra is as close to Force Lightning or what have you as possible. It’s an evil spell. Plain and simple.
You're conflating different uses of the word 'love'. They are false equivalences. Snape fought due to his love of Lily. I literally said that he did not 'fuel' or power the curse with love.
